dovecot - Feb 2010 - v2.0 IMAP Capabilities announcement

Hi,

I have an Android Mail App which worked fine with IDLE pushes before (K-9 Mail)
under 1.2.10. With 2.0 beta 3 it seems to be looking for an IDLE prompt from the
server, otherwise it will disable connection idling (whether this is valid or
not).

Setting 'imap_capability = IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID
IDLE ENABLE' does the trick, but is it possible to add additional values to
the default reply like this?

imap_capability = +IDLE

...or whatever syntax/form one would chose to preserve internal defaults.

Thanks
Thomas

Hmm. That's too bad. I was hoping to avoid sending any unnecessary
capabilities before login. Perhaps IDLE could be added there as an exception.

Although .. Looks like that's an open source client. Perhaps you could
report this as a bug and get them to fix it? Dovecot pushes the updated
capabilities after login, the client should pick them up.
